Here we have a beautiful Gretsch USA Custom from around 2011. This kit was made all as one consignment (each drum has a consecutive serial number) it features 2 toms, floor tom and bass drum. The kit is finished in the Satin Walnut, the look is finished off with beautiful White Marine Pearl inlays on the bass drum hoops. Unlike the early 2000's USA Custom kits this kit benefits from Gretsch Die-Cast hoops and GTS Suspension Mounts. The kit is in beautiful condition. It sounds exactly like you would expect, there is a reason why the USA Custom remains in such high demand from both world class players and record producers.
Gretsch USA Custom drums have served as the foundation for “That Great Gretsch Sound” for over 65 years. At the heart of each drum is the legendary 6-ply Gretsch-formula maple/gum shell with its expertly formed 30-degree bearing edge, the exclusive "Silver Sealer” interior finish and rugged die cast hoops. The custom drum building team in Ridgeland, South Carolina uses time-tested, classic finishing techniques such as hand-rubbed stains and nitro-cellulose lacquers. Gretsch’s nitron-finishes are some of the world’s finest, offering additional durability and legendary styling.
The kit comes re-headed with brand new Evans G2 Tom Batters, EMAD Bass Drum Batter and EQ3 Coated Bass Drum Reso with Gretsch logo. The original pewmatone heads are still on the Tom Reso side, they are in perfect condition and will out last the batter sides a couple more times yet! This kit needs no work what so ever, it’s ready to play and looks as good as brand new!
